ALLEN, Texas, 29 Sept. 2014. Fairview Microwave Inc. in Allen, Texas, is introducing a line of IP67 RF and microwave adapters for military, aviation, DAS, and cellular applications that require ingress protection from water and dust.

Fairview Microwave's RF adapters are IP67 rated, meaning they use advanced ingress protection to make them virtually impenetrable to contaminants like dust, sand, and water, company officials say.

The in-series adapters are available in 7/16 DIN, 4.1/9.5 mini-DIN, Type-N and TNC. Between-series versions include 7/16 DIN to 4.1/9.5 mini-DIN, 7/16 DIN to Type-N and 4.1/9.5 mini-DIN to Type-N.

They are compatible with all like-series connectors, cables and passive and active components. Each adapter operates to 6 GHz with excellent VSWR of 1.15:1 to 1:25:1 depending on the connector type.

Fairview's ingress protected RF adapters also come in two different versions -- mated and unmated. Mated adapters meet the requirements of IP67 only when both ends of the adapter are terminated in mating connectors. Unmated adapters meet the requirements of IP67 even when one or both ends of the adapter are unterminated.
